GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The City of Grand Rapids is requesting charges of racial discrimination against the Grand Rapids Police Department (GRPD) to be dismissed.
City officials say Judge Steven Kibit will determine whether or not to grant that request.
A hearing is scheduled to take place Aug. 31, but a ruling is not expected to be made the same day.
The Michigan Department of Civil Rights filed those charges nearly a month ago, saying they are investigating 28 complaints of discrimination involving GRPD.
